Dear Vanilla,
Another movie I got to watch yesterday as well is Tristan + Isolde. Basically, it is a Romeo & Juliet kind of story and greatly revolves around these two lovers. Although, different twists were made here.
It started off when Tristan's parents(king & queen of a tribe) and the whole tribe were killed by the opposing clan of Isolde's. Tristan was then rescued by a King from another tribe resulting to his right hand to be amputated.
He grew up as a fine young man, a brave warrior and a respected one by his new tribe. The king treats him as his very own son, somehow greater than his own biological son, Mellow. When Isolde's father decided to imprison all women from their tribe as theirs, Tristan lead a surprise attack in order to get them back. In the process, Tristan had slain the man betrothed to Isolde and because he was stabbed by a poisoned sword which greatly paralyses a person, his own people thought he died and decided to set his body ashore getting it on fire as a Viking Funeral. When his paralysis subsided, his heart beats again and was fortunately brought to the sea shore of the opposite side without burns. He was then spotted by Isolde, who was originally planning to run away from his father, with her maid.
She took care of Tristan without telling her true identity as a Princess and fell in love with each other. Time came when Tristan must set ashore to go back to his tribe and to avoid being caught by Isolde's father. When he came back, Isolde's clan made a truce to them because of their lost when Tristan and his tribe had successfully slain their soldiers. It is a deal wherein a warrior from them will join the Gladiator game and if they win, his daughter, Isolde will be the price as a wife for the King. Although, Tristan didn't know that the Princess is the woman he loves that's why he immediately accepted the deal and won. After knowing that the Princess who is now betrothed to his father figure is the same woman he loves, he was left frustrated and in agony. Torn between his love for his father and for Isolde, the story ended tragically.
Well, it's a hanger at the end, I know, but it's too long already. Haha!
